Hello! This my game for the TasJam 2025 (https://itch.io/jam/tasjam2025). 

Theme: Glass Half Full.

Instructions

The aim of this game is to keep the fish (you) swimming along for as long as you can. Ideally, you keep the fish's body at half full--as indicated by the water level box on the bottom right--to ensure the fish swims straight.

But there are pipe barriers along the path. Crash into one of them, and it's game over.

Crayweed (pink) will give extra control

Golden Kelp (yellow) will give you extra dashes

Controls

This game only works with a keyboard (sorry controller players)

WSwim Up
SSwim Down
L-Shift / SpaceDash
RRestart

Do note: the W and S movements are intentionally jank. You will rise/fall, but it is very, very small unless you're swimming through Crayweed because the intention is to use your Dash to move up and down.

Nice :) I just have an issues, the W and S keys do not seem to work, but space bar does, and I can't figure out what the button is for swim down.
